Thankful

I'm so thankful for everything in my life, I want to list just a few of those things.

*The Gospel. I am so very thankful that I have had the opportunity to know and learn the gospel, to know the truth and light and peace it brings. I would be a different person without it. I am so grateful for it in my life and the fullness of my life because of it. I know Jesus Christ is my Savior and Redeemer and I am beyond words to describe how I feel about that. I am overflowing with gratitude and love.

*My 4 sweet, angel baby girls. I am so grateful to be blessed with these four sweet spirits it's indescribable. I am so happy they were sent to our family and to me to love and take care of. I am incredibly humbled with the responsibility Heavenly Father has bestowed upon me and I can only hope I am doing a good enough job. I love these girls so much!

*My sweet husband. I am so lucky and blessed to have found him. He is so good to me and our little family and I really don't know what I would do without him! I'm so glad he's mine for eternity!

*My Mom and brother. They are such a blessing in my life, and I'm so glad to be sent to the mom I was sent to and the family I was sent to. I was sent into such a loving, happy, crazy, wonderful family! My mom is such a strength and my brother is just so sweet and well mannered (for most people) :). I get any strength I have from my mom. And she loves so completely, I feel blessed to have known that love all my life. I'm also grateful for my sister, and even though she has been gone for 4 and a half years now, she will always be in my life and I am so thankful that I knew the love of a sister and that we were so close. She was always so much stronger than me, and I miss her so much!

*My Grandma and Aunts and Uncles and cousins. My grandma is my all time favorite! I have often thought that the people born in to this great clan are the luckiest people on the earth! We were born into a crazy family, but I wouldn't change for all the rice in china! I love it! I am so thankful to be in it!

*My husbands family. I married into the best family! My Mother in law and Father in law love me like their own daughter and I feel that love daily. My brother's in law and sister's in law are like real siblings to me. I love all of them so much and am so grateful I found them! (through my hubby :)).

*My wonderful friends. I have been incredibly blessed with the friends I have found! I have friends from childhood on and from every place I have lived. I want all of them to know how very rich they have made my life! I would be a different person indeed without them and I am so happy to call them friends! (I would list them all, but would inevitably leave one or two out because I have a crappy memory and I don't want to risk that, because I love and remember them all and I have many. And this includes my new bloggy friends!) I love you all and am thankful for all of you!

*My dad. I didn't really know him growing up, but I'm glad to have a relationship with him now. I'm grateful he's in my life.

*My animals. I know that may sound silly, but I love my pets like family! I'm glad to have the companionship of these furry creatures who have no guile and love so unconditionally. They are so sweet and I'm happy that I have them.

*My home and the land I live in. I am so grateful that we are able to have a warm home to live in and that we live in this greatest country in the world! I'm proud to be American and love this land so much! I was very blessed to be born where and when I was. I am very thankful for the soldiers who volunteer to leave their own families to fight for ours and keep our land free and risk their lives every day to do that. I pray for them daily.

There are so many things I am grateful for, I could never list them all, I am thankful for all the many blessings in my life!
